Hello, i just swapped CPU(i5-8350u) from fujitsu lifebook e548 to Dell Latitude E7490 Board, all resistances are fine, laptop wants to boot but after 1 second draw of 0,3A its turning off, after pressing power on button same situation. I've cleaned ME region and same situation. Is it boot guard problem - and if it is, is it any chance to bypass this or this cpu just can't be used in Dell.

Still not aware of any trick to bypass bootguard. Btw, Was the source and target SOC same SKU? -
If the e548 has no boot guard you can mod the E7490 bios ME firmware. Change boot guard to 0 and fill the OEM key with 00`s of the same length as the dell OEM key. It should be ok then, but you will have to make sure the bios doesn`t get updated. If you did it the other way around and put the dell CPU onto the e548 it wouldn`t work as boot guard is burned into the chip.Comment

Hi everyone,
I'm working on an Alienware Aurora R13 (Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake-S) and I need help to enable the integrated graphics (iGPU). This machine comes with a dedicated GPU and the iGPU is factory-disabled at the firmware level. I want to perform a Clean ME and modify the settings to unhide/enable the UHD 770.

The Challenge: The main issue is that I cannot successfully re-build the image after modifying it in MFIT because... -
Hi, can anyone check for me bootguard status on cpu from this board.
Attaching bios.... -
Hello all,
I am looking into flashing the BIOS on Dell Windows laptops.
The customers want these to boot to the dialog box that prompts the user to enter the Service Tag. On a new device, this would happen on the first boot.
On older models, we could use a hex editor to blank out the old service tag and this would work. But modern Dell laptops do not allow this.
We have BIOS from brand new boards, that we thought we could overwrite old BIOS with this fresh copy but that doesn't seem to work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.... -
Hey, im stuck with troubleshooting my Dell 5540 i7 vPro with 203032-1 motherboard. Every time i try to leave manufacturing mode it stops booting. I've tried clean ME Region clean BIOS but nothing really helps. Any help would be much appriciated
Both chip dumps in attachments aswell as logs from MEInfo. I can't get the originnal bios to work, im only able to boot with clean BIOS
I've tried to update the BIOS via Dell Update (it skipped ME Region saying it's up to date) with /forceit flag, that didn't help and im suspecting the issue might be somewhere else

My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?
My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...
